This is an auction listing (Tribunale) and the ad explicitly says the images are not real; the unit also has cadastral/urban irregularities. At €63,129 plus estimated €200/m² renovation (€52,000) the effective price is ≈€115,129 (≈€443/m²), above the regional median of €417/m² — auction status makes this a risky trap.
More on the house and the area
Bright, recently finished-looking interiors and a handsome historic façade give this townhouse real urban appeal. It appears move-in ready, but it's sold at auction and the file notes building irregularities and that the photos may be illustrative only — confirm permits, layout and services before proceeding.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€17,000 – €29,000
Wiring, water and sanitary work of any kind, heating, air conditioning and gas go to a registered firm by law, and so do flues and the air openings for gas appliances. That labour stays in the bill. Yours is the stripping out, plaster, paint, floors, tiling and carpentry.
Labour is 61% of a renovation price on average and 67% at the median, across 191 items of the Emilia-Romagna 2025 public price list. Materials are the rest. An averaged price list, not a quote.
Materials you buy yourself carry 22% VAT; supplied by the firm doing the work they go at the 10% renovation rate. On a €30,000 materials bill that is €3,600 of extra tax.
Household wiring installed before 13 March 1990 counts as compliant if it has a main breaker with overcurrent protection, protection against direct contact and a 30 mA RCD. Having a firm bring the existing wiring up to that and certify it is the cheapest lawful route.
- Property is an auction lot — expect legal/administrative risk and buy-as-is.
- Listing notes 'difformità edilizie' (planning/catastale irregularities) — check permits and regularisation costs.
- Advertiser warns the photos are indicative and may not show the actual rooms.
- Verify number of bathrooms, utilities and true floor plan before bidding.
Estimate from the listing and its photos, not a survey. Treat it as the starting point for your own quotes. An Italian builder's quote is normally written without VAT and without design fees, so add about a quarter to any figure a firm gives you.
The area around
Location score 56/100The area sits in the Irpinian Apennine hill country, with cultivated ridges and valleys around the upper Ufita basin. The nearest larger centre is Ariano Irpino, which has a full set of services, a historic centre and rail connections in the wider territory. This part of inland Campania is known for grain fields, olive groves and hill villages rather than for a single standout landmark inside the immediate radius.
